What is Acupuncture?What can I expect at a treatment?
Why do your treatments cost less than other acupuncture treatments?
Acupuncture is the insertion of very fine needles into specific points on the body. The needles are solid, sterile, and disposed of after each use. They are inserted into the muscle and surrounding tissue, just below skin level. As the needle penetrates the skin, the sensation is similar to a small "mosquito bite," followed by a dull ache. This sensation typically fades after 15 to 35 seconds.
The needles redirect the flow of your body's energy, or qi (pronounced Chee). Qi moves through your body in a series of channels called meridians, similar to how blood flows through your arteries and veins. Your qi becomes imbalanced when it is blocked in a meridian. Acupuncture needles encourage the qi to flow from congested areas to empty areas, establishing balance in the meridians.
When your meridians are balanced, so is your body - this helps you feel and look your best!
